Megadeth's Dave Mustaine is set to release a memoir titled 'In My Darkest Hour' in September 2026. The book will recount his cancer journey and how music, family, and faith kept him going during dark times.

The memoir will delve into Mustaine's experiences with cancer, including his diagnosis and treatment. He will also share stories about how his loved ones supported him throughout his journey.
